NIGEL LESMOIR-GORDON began writing while still a student and subsequently published poems and short stories in the UK, the USA and in France. He toured the UK performing at poetry and poetry & jazz readings with the New Departures Group. Nigel's interest in film took him to the London School of Film Technique.
From film school he joined the industry as a trainee editor working on TV commercials, then moved to the BBC as an editor, cutting dramas and documentaries.
Nigel formed his first production company, Green Back Films, with the partners of the record sleeve design company, Hipgnosis. They worked on music promotions for Donovan, Pink Floyd, 10cc, Squeeze, Rainbow, Joe Cocker, Big Country, Wings and Paul Young, producing ground-breaking and award-winning commercials and pop videos
He later joined the creative team at the Central Office of Information, writing and directing for the international TV documentary series This Week in Britain and Living Tomorrow.
Nigel is recognised for his ability to make difficult and technical subjects accessible through his exciting and thought-provoking films. His most outstanding work includes an acclaimed series of films for the UK’s Royal Air Force and Royal Navy, SAVING THE CHILDREN, a television documentary on women who work for children’s’ charities.
He also directed The Bobby Charlton Story, Reflections, Satguru, Rainbow - Live Between The Eyes and the series Whatever You Want for the UK’s Channel Four.
He then wrote and directed documentaries for GLAXO, HEINZ, FORD, SCHERING, DUPHAR, LEDERLE and Training Programmes for INLAND REVENUE, DHSS, THE HALIFAX. Sales Promotions for THE ELECTRICITY COUNCIL, WATERWAYS BOARD, ACROW, PEUGEOT TALBOT. Corporate Communications for BAA GATWICK, VCI, LLOYDS OF LONDON, BLACK & DECKER, BRITISH TELECOM, CIBA GEIGY, NATWEST, MIDLAND AND BARCLAYS BANKS.
Gordon Films was founded in 1995.
Nigel’s television documentary THE COLOURS OF INFINITY, a one-hour film presented by Sir Arthur C. Clarke on the discovery of the Mandelbrot Set and the development of Fractal Geometry, has thus far been broadcast in over thirty territories world-wide and in four languages. It is available on video in the UK, the USA, Australia and throughout Europe.
Following the success of COLOURS Nigel has since written, produced and directed the broadcast documentary IS GOD A NUMBER? On the mystery of consciouness and CLOUDS ARE NOT SPHERES, a biographical broadcast documentary on the life and work of the mathematician, Benoît Mandelbrot. Recently Nigel completed his first feature film REMEMBER A DAY, which is currently making the rounds of the festivals. Nigel’s first book, INTRODUCING FRACTAL GEOMETRY was published by Icon Books in the USA and the UK January 2001. Nigel has just completed a film called MANDELBROT’S WORLD OF FRACTALS, which he directed and presented for the NSF. Nigel’s second book based on THE COLOURS OF INFINITY was published in 2004.
The short drama THE MYSTERIOUS MICHAEL A was written, directed and produced by Nigel in 2005.
Nigel completed the short documentary BRIXTON BEACH in March 2007.
